Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms. They have unique properties such as high strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity.
Imagine a straw made entirely of tiny carbon atoms. Just like how a regular straw can transport liquid, carbon nanotubes can transport electricity and heat due to their special structure.
金属纳米结构 (jīnshǔ nàmǐ jiégòu): Metal nanostructures are tiny arrangements of metal atoms that exhibit different properties compared to bulk metals.
纳米颗粒 (nàmǐ kēlì): Nanoparticles are small particles with dimensions in the range of 1-100 nanometers. They have various applications in fields like medicine and electronics.
纳米技术 (nàmǐ jìshù): Nanotechnology refers to the manipulation and control of matter at the nanoscale level, typically involving structures or devices with dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers.
